Exactly what I've done. Next year the GTS will be getting a Thunderace (YZF1000R) engine, complete with Exup. I may keep the EFI if there is adequate possibilities for re-mapping/tuning.
The FJR has tremendous appeal and I may still buy one. But it's all done, with no challenges remaining. The GTS has a lot of unfinished business. She's my next project bike.
